62.62 for 8 quarts supercar 0w-40 and pf63 filter is what i found plus tax and shipping. 
34.32 for 8 quarts mobil one 0w-20 and pf63 or ac.delco is 50.94 for oil and filter so i understand why price at dealerships have increased but my dealer that just did recall (passed) said oil change through them would now be $200. I never have had a dealer change the oils and this increase seems ridiculous as they can get better pricing for bulk. 
i now have 2 cars and 1 truck that require the supercar oil imagine if the dealer did the servicing on these 3?

Oil viscosity is not going to affect the MPG in an extreme like you are suggesting.  Its about 1-2% going from 0w20 to 0w40.  The EPA rating on a 6.2 Silverado is 15mpg city, 20mpg highway and 17mpg c

Also if you look at the Preferred Cost when you look at the Signature Series 0w-40 it's a lower cost than GM's.     https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-signature-series-0w-40-100-synthetic-motor-oil-

One last question and I will let this thread die. Had my recall completed, passed testing, oil & filter change, and new oil cap. Just missing the owners manual insert. My dealer knows nothing about the insert, just gave me a print out showing the recall was completed. 
Does anyone know if that insert is anywhere on the web so I can print a copy?  Or does anyone have a copy that they are willing to scan and post?

Any assistance appreciated.

Now that I read a bit deeper it does not matter about the insert as all the manual says is to check the oil cap for what oil to use. 
Sorry for dredging this post back up.

I currently have a connecting rod sticking out of the engine compartment on my 2021 Silverado 1500 6.2 liter.  After some research and finding out that there was a recall I made some phone calls.  Just for them to tell me that my truck was not part of the recall for the 2021-2024 Silverado 6.2-liter trucks that have a recall due to crankshaft and connecting rod issues.   Any help would be much appreciated.  FYI the truck has 60k miles on it.

Were you told why yours was not a part of the recall?  You may want to call GM customer service. 
 

Here is a link to the recall info:

Good luck.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
